Shaun doesn't have a very good day, so he decides to turn his life around
by getting his ex to take him back, but he times it for right in the middle
of what may be a zombie apocalypse... But for him, it's an opportunity to
show everyone he knows how useful he is by saving them all. All he has to
do is survive... And get his ex back.
Life isn't too good for Shaun (Pegg). He lives with his best friend Ed
(Frost), neglects his girlfriend Liz (Ashfield) and despises his step-dad
(Nighy). When Liz dumps Shaun, he vows to get his life back on track.
Unfortunatly, this is the day that the dead has decided to come back to
life. With a cricket bat and Ed by his side, Shaun sets out to rescue those
he loves and those he doesn't love, and heads to the safest place he
knows...the Winchester.
Shaun isn't having the greatest of times: the staff at the store he works
in don't take him very seriously as temporary boss; his girlfriend Liz has
had enough of always meeting at the Winchester Arms along with his best
mate; and his relationship with his dad--sorry, stepdad--remains heavily
fraught. And now the living dead have risen and are spreading their zombie
curse to everyone they can get their teeth into. Just doesn't seem worth
getting out of bed some days.
Shaun is a 29-year-old with no real ambition in life, much to the
consternation of his friends, family, and fed-up girlfriend. With only a
loyalty to his lazy best friend Edgar, a dead-end job where his employees
step on him, and the good-ol' days, Shaun isn't exactly putting his best
foot forward. But when the flesh-hungry undead start to rise in numbers
around modern-day London, Shaun must come to the rescue of his girlfriend
and mother before all hell breaks loose. With loyal Edgar at his side to
fight the good fight, the two will have to pave their way through
zombie-ridden London as Shaun must take on the first real challenge in his
life--with comical results.
Shaun is having many problems in life. His long-time girlfriend has dumped
him due to their almost-daily expedition to Shaun's favorite pub, the
Winchester. His temporary management job isn't going well at Foree
Electronics, with his subordinates not even giving him the time of day. His
deadbeat flatmates, Pete and Ed, are at each others' throats. And, oh yeah,
London is overrun with multitudes of zombies. In the midst of this, he must
save himself, Ed, his ex, his mom, and his precious record collection.
There is a time when a hero must rise...from his couch.
